This folder contains the dataset used in the manuscript entitled "A validation study for a bat-inspired sonar sensing simulator" by H.Zhu, A.K. Gupta, X. Wu, M. Goldsworthy, R. Wang, M. Mikkilineni and R. Mueller. It contains the impulse response signals from experiments and simulation after all preprocessing and alignment steps. This data is used to produce statistics and plots in the manuscript. The data is saved in .mat format and should be loaded by using Matlab software. 

This data contain the follow variables:

*leafinfo: A 8695x4 matrix of leaf measurements. Each row corresponds to one leaf sample. Column 1: tree species; 0 is oak, 1 is dogwood, 2 is yew, and 3 is tupiltree. Column 2: leaf size in inches (length from the tip to the base). Column 3: elevation angle in degrees. Column 4:azimuth angle in degrees. 

*targ1: A 1x400 vector that gives the time argument of all impulse response signals in milliseconds. It is common for both experimental signals and the simulated signal. 

*mic1_mat/mic2_mat: experimental impulse response signals. Matrices of size 8695x400 that contrain signal-leaf impulse responses collected from microphone 1 and 2 in experiments. The rows correspond to the leaf information in the leafinfo matrix. 

*simu: simulated impulse response signals. A 8695x400 matrix. The rows correspond to the leaf information in the leafinfo matrix.
